Newfoundland Industry That Too Much Competition Spoiled —So Many Engaged In Bualnetfs Whales Killed Off—Effect on Cod Flailing—No Longer Profitable.; In the hlatorjr of modern Industrial enterprise no collapse has been more remarkable, even though on a small scale, than that of the whaling Indus try of Newfoundland. Only In 1891 was It Inaugurated, anu while In the meantime It has attained enormous magnitude for the Island, It Is now In the throes of dissolution, says a Bt. Johns correspondent of the noa ton Transcript. Modern whaling, as practiced In Newfoundland, represents the chase of tne rorqual, or racer whale, the speed- . test of all the tribe of cetaceans, and one which hitherto conld not b6 pur sued because of Its alert nes* and speed. Today this whale Is chased by sniall but swift steamers of about 100 tons liujrden, on the bow of which Is mount d a small fnortarllke cannon, which hrow* a harpoon with an explosive, head, (1 red by a time fuse, killing It almost Instantly, this weapon be ing a substitute for the hand harpoon tormerly used. / The steamers operate from stations along the coaat and kill their prey within a radius of a day's run, wfiere ip old time whalers made long voy ' !«;«•, being months and sometimes \earn away from home. The new method provides factories at suitable isdnr* mi the const to which the whales ire Ix-ought, when killed, to be cut up. every morsel of the gigantic body ielng turned to some commercial use. In IMiwt the enterprise started with i.ne steiimrr and one factory, and with in two years hail become so successful that it was paying dividends of BO per cent This Induced another company to start, which had equal success; and then the development of the In dustry took on the character of a craze, pure ann simple. Everybody wanted to Invest In the whaling In dustry and companies were organiz ed every dayv The legislature then Intervened, and to prevent the total destruction of the llsh, enacted a meas ure for the regulation of the Indus try. It divided the const Into flfty mlln sections, within which only one steamer and one factory were to be allowed to operate, while there wore other limitations against excessive Ashing which tended to keep the In dustry within bounds. Immediately this legislation was outlined speculators Ix'gan to Becure sites within these areas, which sites, being obtained frequently for nothing, were then sold to whaling companies for large amounts. In some cases from 17,600 to |IO,OOO was asked and obtained for the concession, this rep resenting about 15 per cent of the capital stock of the companies, for the holders of the sites declined to take cash payments, demanding stock, because of the large dividends which they felt certain tt would bring. The business grew so rapidly that In 1905 no less than seventeen steam ers with as many factorlos were oper ating many the coast of Newfound land, the aggregate capitalization be ing about $1,500,000. At this point disaster befell then, forewarning or which had been given the prevloua year but without attracting serious at tention. The catch of whales gradual ly rose from 55 In 1898 to .JITI9 In 1904, but whereas a kill of 000 or 700 whales for four steamers meant a sub stantial profit, a kill of 1,000 or l.Koo whales by ten or twelve steamers presaged serious loss. In 1904 most of the companies paid but small divi dends, and In 1905 four new steamers were introduced, the result being that all were faced with heavy deficits when operations closed at the end of last year. The season was, In the first plane, a bad one, and the price of oil, because of oversupply from Norway and New foundland, had dropped considerably, having declined from $125 to SSO a ton In throe years. In the next place, the iatch was very small, not totalling 1,000 whalos for the seventeen dtoam ers employed, one of these, Indeed, representing a company capitalized at SIIO.OOO, falling to secure a single flan, while the highest killed was 84, as against 256 for a single steamer In IHOV The experiences of Norway has been that the Industry has been operated on a large acale for more than thirty years without effecting any sensible diminution In the apparent visible supply, and although the bowhead •nd the cachelot whales have been hunted for centuries they are yet suffi ciently numerous to provide employ ment for a goodly number of Ameri can. Knglish and Norwegian whalers In the Pacific and Atlantic oceana. Hence as the rorqual whales are in all probability as numerous as either ot the other species, and as they have not l*en hunted with anything ilka the persistency with which the bow heads and cacelots have been. It would seem aa if extreme caution la this respect were unnecessary. The Colonial Oorernment la also Influenced by the fact that a large number of the fishermen of the colony believe that the killing of the whalea is responsible for the lack of cod and other fishes In the lashore witerwaya.
